Building an Amateur Radio Repeater Part One: The Hardware 

Want to know what goes in to building an Amateur Radio Repeater? Grab a cup of coffee and watch as I get started building one at my location.
For over 20 years, KB9SIP and KB9SGN operated and maintained a repeater in Ridgeport, IN. Recently, the site lost electrical service and the equipment shed degraded to a point where something needed to happen. In April of 2022, we visited the site to salvage what equipment we could and relocate the system at my location on my 100' Trylon Tower.
In Part One, I'll show you the equipment that I'll be using and walk you through the process of building a home for it. A lot of things that we'll be doing for this project are new to me, so this is an exciting learning opportunity.
